Gabrielle CHANEL | Paris

So who is the woman behind CHANEL Gabrielle?

She is liberated from conventions, a woman who sets her own rules.

She is a woman who takes orders from no one as to what to do or how to be. She can love little black dresses or tailored suits – as long as she decides what she likes. Not society, her family, her boyfriend or husband or anyone else.

Just as Gabrielle Coco Chanel said herself: “I chose the person I want to be and this is who I am”.

The perfume was concoctedbyOlivier Polge, Chanel’s fragrance wizard. The fragrance consists of four flowers: Ylang-Ylang, Jasmine, Orange Blossom and Grasse Tuberose to which he added touches of musk and citrus. The final result is not less than perfect: floral and feminine but not too sweet, gentle but with strong presence, not similar to any other Chanel perfume but the brand signature is undeniably felt throughout. Beyond the fragrance, the perfume comes in a slim, striking glass bottle that reminds of a luxurious piece of jewelry.
